You do good work Boco. Hats off to you... Excellent way to utilize certain species and sizes that won't get the $$ reward from the fur market. A good display helps the visual value. smile

Yea,makes sense for me to tan those here at home.Small beaver,rats,fox etc pretty easy to do with minimal effort compared to the bigger heavier leathered stuff.Pretty much a spare time project,if you stilt it to have stuff going in and coming out every couple days for a couple weeks.Doesnt really feel like work that way.
Not much choice really-the small stuff is too costly to send to the tanner,and shipping them is a low return for effort.

Got to admire how you make the most out of your trapping efforts. You sure seem to have figured things out over the years...your industry and perseverance certainly do you proud.

Makes me want to up my game a little as well.

Nice!
I was going to pull out the Trubond kit and do a coon, mink & fisher but Jurassic gave me a price for a professional tan that I couldn’t turn down.

Lovely fox, and the others.

Boco. Put the dang furs in better light and take a close up shot . As close as possible, getting them all in the frame.

The furs are so nice, better lighting, especially sunlight with the right angle, would show them off very well.

Re: Tanned a few - 04/17/23 10:55 PM

The beavers have already been blocked,the rest still have the stretch in the leather.
The sewers that buy my beaver prefer them to be blocked out and ready to sew.I do that during one of the tanning steps,so I dont charge any extra for that.
The big beavers that I get tanned at the tannery,I have to re-wet them do some small repairs and block them out,but the fur sewers like them like that.It saves them a little work and gives me an advantage over my competitors.

Beautiful! I just pulled a large beaver and 4 coons from the tanning solution, hope they end up looking half as nice as those!
